As blogs continue in their popularity, one skill that a lot of people are interested in is web design. Having a strong and memorable homepage is a vital part of any individual’s or company’s branding — after all, it’s normally the first port of call for people who want to contact you, learn about you, or request your services.

The 1st Web Designer channel was launched back in 2008 and has since gone on to amass more than two million subscribers.

They normally post one new video every week and cover the more creative side of web design. Recently published videos that are typical of what you can expect are “The Power of Simplicity for Web Designers” and “Landing Pages 101: How to Create a Powerful and Converting Sales Page”.

They also host a regular question and answer session, and have an engaging podcast which you can download via their accompanying website.

Unlike 1st Web Designer, Adam focuses on the more practical aspects of web design. He is a one-man show, but his videos are all clear, informative, and easy to follow regardless of your level of expertise.

He has excellent knowledge across a wide variety of topics, but specializes in JavaScript, PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, and ActionScript.

The playlists are well organized, with each focusing on a different skill and ability level. If you need any further convincing, consider this: his videos have received almost 20 million views since he went live in 2008.

As its name suggests, LearnCode.academy is a huge resource for anyone who wants to learn about web design and programming but isn’t sure where to start.

The channel is much newer than the two we mentioned so far, but their frequent releases have propelled them to 100,000 subscribers in just two and a half years.

A good place to start is their “Web Development Tutorials for Beginners” playlist, which includes videos like “How to build webpages with HTML, CSS, and Javascript” and “How to put your website online – how to FTP to a domain and upload files to a webhost”.

Derek is unique in that he takes requests from his followers about what videos they would like to see created. It means if you’re stuck on one particular aspect of web design, you can contact him and see if he’ll help you out.

This has led to a broad range of topics being covered in his channel, with extensive beginner guides on PHP, Java, MySQL, and web services, among others. He is also a very talented Android app developer and has a lot of videos dedicated to making apps for the Google Play Store.

As the name indicates, this channel almost solely produces videos about PHP code. While PHP has fallen out of popularity amongst newer coders in favor of languages like Ruby and Python, it’s still a vital part of the web development industry.

Due to the channel’s narrow focus, it allows them to go into a great deal of depth on aspects of PHP that don’t receive much coverage elsewhere. Playlists on topics like “Easy PHP Validation with Violin” and “Create Your Own PHP Mail Wrapper” are the kind of thing you can expect.

That said, there is some non-PHP content. CSS, Java, and Github all get attention, making this a well-rounded channel for people who are just setting out on their web design journey.

What Did We Miss?

We’ve tried to give you a broad range of channels to get you started, but we’re sure we’ve missed some.

Did you learn web design by using YouTube? What channels did you find invaluable? Perhaps there’s a small undiscovered gem that’s desperately in need of followers? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

There are a lot of free tutorials over the Internet but for me, the best tutorials are found on Youtube. You get to see how the thing is done, and you can also try it for yourself and find out if you can do the same. If you already knew the basic in HTML and CSS, you can head over to the CMS and design frameworks. In this case, it will be much easier for you to understand how things worked.

SQL, Structured Query Language - SQL obtains patterns from queries and statistics on how often they are used; neither the queries, nor patterns, nor statistics have anything in common with data itself, they are EXTERNAL.

I, however, discovered and patented how to structure any data without SQL, the queries - INTERNALLY: Language has its own INTERNAL parsing, indexing and statistics and can be structured INTERNALLY. (For more details please browse on my name ‘Ilya Geller’.)

For instance, there are two sentences:
a) 'Sam!’
b) 'A loud ringing of one of the bells was followed by the appearance of a smart chambermaid in the upper sleeping gallery, who, after tapping at one of the doors, and receiving a request from within, called over the balustrades -'Sam!'.'
Evidently, that the 'Sam' has different importance into both sentences, in regard to extra information in both. This distinction is reflected as the phrases, which contain 'Sam', weights: the first has 1, the second – 0.08; the greater weight signifies stronger emotional ‘acuteness’; where the weight refers to the frequency that a phrase occurs in relation to other phrases.

SQL cannot produce that statistics - SQL is obsolete and out of business.
JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, and ActionScript are obsolete as well - they use the same as SQL EXTERNAL to data approach to it.
